If I remember correctly, there is a 'feature' of the Crimson XML parser

Notepad inserts a BOM even if you save the file as UTF-8 (not sure why,
or what use it would be).

Well, it gives you a pretty good chance to detect the encoding of a byte
stream in absence of other encoding information (not required for XML,
but extremely useful for "plain" source files).
